Summary

Documents the Expanded Non-Billing User Access change: organization members with a cloud resource access role (Admin, Editor, Viewer) can now view usage, costs, and manage budgets for the hosted deployments, serverless projects, and connected clusters they already have access to — without needing Billing admin or Organization owner rights. Organization-wide financial data (credit balance, billing history, invoices, and organization-scoped budgets) remains owner/admin-only, unchanged.

  • deploy-manage/users-roles/cloud-organization/user-roles.md: notes that both cloud resource access roles and connected cluster access roles also grant usage/cost/budget visibility for resources in their scope, linking to the two billing pages below.
  • deploy-manage/cloud-organization/billing/monitor-analyze-usage.md: adds a who-can-view breakdown (organization-wide for owners/billing admins vs. resource-scoped for other roles), clarifies that users see the full available cost history for resources they currently have access to, and adds a note that organization-wide financial data stays owner/admin-only.
  • deploy-manage/cloud-organization/billing/manage-billing-notifications.md: clarifies who can create, view, and manage a budget depending on its scope (organization vs. cloud resource).

Organization members with resource-scoped roles (Admin, Editor,
Viewer) can now view usage, costs, and budgets for the hosted
deployments, serverless projects, and connected clusters they have
access to, without needing Billing admin or Organization owner
rights. This updates the three affected pages to describe who can
see and manage billing data under the new access model, while
keeping organization-wide financial data (credit balance, billing
history, invoices, and organization-scoped budgets) owner/admin-only
as before.

✅ Elastic Docs Style Checker (Vale)

No issues found on modified lines!


The Vale linter checks documentation changes against the Elastic Docs style guide. To use Vale locally or report issues, refer to Elastic style guide for Vale.

Members with a connected cluster access role also gain usage/cost
and budget visibility for the connected clusters in their scope,
under the same Expanded Non-Billing User Access model already
documented for cloud resource access roles. This adds the parallel
note that was missing from the Connected cluster access roles
section.
